PSG Intend to Sell Man Utd-Linked Standout to Fund Move for Inter Milan Star, Report Says | OneFootball

Paris Saint-Germain could be facing a No. 9 dilemma, as Randal Kolo Muani finds himself in the transfer rumor mill while Gonçalo Ramos remains sidelined with an injury. Additionally, manager Luis Enrique has frequently favored a false No. 9 over Kolo Muani in recent matches.

CaughtOffside reports that Manchester United are showing strong interest in Kolo Muani but aren’t expected to make a January move. However, another report indicates that the Premier League club is preparing a €70 million bid to bring the French forward to Old Trafford.

According to a recent report from Calciomercato, PSG scouts have been closely watching Inter Milan’s Marcus Thuram, attending several of his matches early this season.

While there has been no formal contact with Inter or Thuram’s representatives, the 26-year-old is seen as a potential target for next summer as PSG looks to strengthen their forward line.

How much could the Frenchman cost the Ligue 1 side? Tuttomercatoweb (h/t Le10Sport) reports that Thuram’s contract includes an €85 million release clause, which wouldn’t intimidate PSG. The Parisians are reportedly considering selling Kolo Muani to help fund the transfer of the French team’s other center forward.

Thuram has made eight appearances for Inter Milan this 2023-24 season, scoring seven goals and recording three assists for the Serie A side.
